Double Leg and Lift

Key points

• Measure distance and level change into a deep penetration step
• Drive shoulder into partner's waist while wrapping both arms firmly around both legs
• Pull partner's legs tight to the chest so partner cannot adjust
• Drive partner back, recover trailing leg into a solid short squat stance
• Keep head glued to the hip, look up toward the ceiling, and extend legs to lift partner under control

Common mistakes

Leaving space between partner's legs and your chest; lifting with the back rather than establishing a short squat and driving with legs; disconnecting the head from partner's hip; looking down instead of looking up.
